Jeremiah 30

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:

١ ثُمَّ أَوْحَى الرَّبُّ بِهَذِهِ النُّبُوءَةِ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا قَائِلاً:

2 'Thus speaketh the LORD, the God of Israel, saying: Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.

٢ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: «دَوِّنْ فِي كِتَابٍ كُلَّ مَا أَمْلَيْتُهُ عَلَيْكَ،

3 For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will turn the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.'

٣ هَا أَيَّامٌ مُقْبِلَةٌ أَرُدُّ فِيهَا سَبْيَ شَعْبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا، وَأُعِيدُهُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَعْطَيْتُهَا لِآبَائِهِمْ فَيَرِثُونَهَا».

4 And these are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

٤ ثُمَّ خَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَيَهُوذَا: بِهَذَا الْكَلامِ:

5 For thus saith the LORD: We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.

٥ «هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: سَمِعْنَا صُرَاخَ رُعْبٍ. عَمَّ الْفَزَعُ وَانْقَرَضَ السَّلامُ.

6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child; wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

٦ اسْأَلُوا وَتَأَمَّلُوا: أَيُمْكِنُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ؟ إِذاً مَالِي أَرَى كُلَّ رَجُلٍ يَضَعُ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى حَقْوَيْهِ كَامْرَأَةٍ تُقَاسِي مِنَ الْمَخَاضِ، وَقَدِ اكْتَسَى كُلُّ وَجْهٍ بِالشُّحُوبِ؟

7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it; and it is a time of trouble unto Jacob, but out of it shall he be saved.

٧ مَا أَرْهَبَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ إِذْ لَا مَثِيلَ لَهُ! هُوَ زَمَنُ ضِيقٍ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ، وَلَكِنَّهَا سَتَنْجُو مِنْهُ.

8 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bands; and strangers shall no more make him their bondman;

٨ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، أُحَطِّمُ أَنْيَارَ أَعْنَاقِهِمْ، وَأَقْطَعُ رُبُطَهُمْ، فَلا يَسْتَعْبِدُهُمْ غَرِيبٌ فِيمَا بَعْدُ.

9 But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

٩ بَلْ يَخْدِمُونَ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُمْ، وَدَاوُدَ مَلِكَهُمُ الَّذِي أُقِيمُهُ لَهُمْ.

10 Therefore fear thou not, O Jacob My servant, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel; for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall again be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

١٠ فَلا تَفْزَعْ يَا عَبْدِي يَعْقُوبَ، وَلا تَجْزَعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، فَإِنِّي أُخَلِّصُكَ مِنَ الْغُرْبَةِ، وَأُنْقِذُ ذُرِّيَّتَكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ سَبْيِهِمْ، فَيَرْجِعُ نَسْلُ إِسْرَائيلَ وَيَطْمَئِنُّ وَيَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُضَايِقَهُ أَحَدٌ.

11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; for I will correct thee in measure, and will not utterly destroy thee.

١١ لأَنِّي مَعَكَ لأُخَلِّصَكَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، فَأُبِيدُ جَمِيعَ الأُمَمِ الَّتِي شَتَّتُّكَ بَيْنَهَا. أَمَّا أَنْتَ فَلَنْ أُفْنِيَكَ بَلْ أُؤَدِّبَكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَلا أُبَرِّئَكَ تَبْرِئَةً كَامِلَةً».

12 For thus saith the LORD: Thy hurt is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

١٢ لأَنَّ هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الَّربُّ: «إِنَّ جُرْحَكِ لَا شِفَاءَ لَهُ وَضَرْبَتَكِ لَا عِلاجَ لَهَا.

13 None deemeth of thy wound that it may be bound up; thou hast no healing medicines.

١٣ إِذْ لَا يُوْجَدُ مَنْ يُدَافِعُ عَنْ دَعْوَاكِ، وَلا دَوَاءَ لِجُرْحِكِ، وَلا دَوَاءَ لَكِ.

14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee, they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one; for the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased.

١٤ قَدْ نَسِيَكِ مُحِبُّوكِ، وَأَهْمَلُوكِ إِهْمَالاً، لأَنِّي ضَرَبْتُكِ كَمَا يَضْرِبُ عَدُوٌّ، وَعَاقَبْتُكِ عِقَابَ مُبْغِضٍ قَاسٍ، لأَنَّ إِثْمَكِ عَظِيمٌ وَخَطَايَاكِ مُتَكَاثِرَةٌ.

15 Why criest thou for thy hurt, that thy pain is incurable? For the greatness of thine iniquity, because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

١٥ لِمَاذَا تَنُوحِينَ مِنْ ضَرْبَتِكِ؟ إِنَّ جُرْحَكِ مُسْتَعْصٍ مِنْ جَرَّاءِ إِثْمِكِ الْعَظِيمِ وَخَطَايَاكِ الْمُتَكَاثِرَةِ، لِهَذَا أَوْقَعْتُ بِكِ الْمِحَنَ.

16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

١٦ وَلَكِنْ سَيَأْتِي يَوْمٌ يُفْتَرَسُ فِيهِ جَمِيعُ مُفْتَرِسِيكِ وَيَذْهَبُ جَمِيعُ مَضَايِقِيكِ إِلَى السَّبْي، وَيُصْبِحُ نَاهِبُوكِ مَنْهُوبِينَ،

17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they have called thee an outcast: 'She is Zion, there is none that careth for her.'

١٧ لأَنِّي أَرُدُّ لَكِ عَافِيَتَكِ وَأُبْرِئُ جِرَاحَكِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، لأَنَّكِ دُعِيتِ مَنْبُوذَةً، صِهْيَوْنَ الَّتِي لَا يَعْبَأُ بِها أَحَدٌ».

18 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have compassion on his dwelling-places; and the city shall be builded upon her own mound, and the palace shall be inhabited upon its wonted place.

١٨ وَهَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ ذُرِّيَّةِ يَعْقُوبَ إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ، وَأَرْحَمُ مَسَاكِنَهُمْ، فَتُبْنَى الْمَدِينَةُ عَلَى رَابِيَتِهَا، وَيَنْتَصِبُ الْقَصْرُ كَالْعَهْدِ بِهِ.

19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry; and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished, I will also increase them, and they shall not dwindle away.

١٩ وَتَصْدُرُ عَنْهُمْ تَرَانِيمُ الشُّكْرِ مَعَ أَهَازِيجِ أَصْوَاتِ الْمُطْرِبِينَ، وَأُكَثِّرُهُمْ فَلا يَكُونُونَ قِلَّةً، وَأُكْرِمُهُمْ فَلا يَسْتَذِلُّونَ.

20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before Me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

٢٠ وَيَكُونُ أَبْنَاؤُهُمْ مُفْلِحِينَ كَمَا فِي الْعَهْدِ الْغَابِرِ، وَيَثْبُتُ جُمْهُورُهُمْ أَمَامِي، وَأُعَاقِبُ جَمِيعَ مُضَايِقِيهِمْ.

21 And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto Me; for who is he that hath pledged his heart to approach unto Me? saith the LORD.

٢١ وَيَكُونُ قَائِدُهُمْ مِنْهُمْ، وَيَخْرُجُ حَاكِمُهُمْ مِنْ وَسَطِهِمْ فَأَسْتَدْنِيهِ فَيَدْنُو مِنِّي، إِذْ مَنْ يَجْرُؤُ عَلَى الاقْتِرَابِ مِنِّي مِنْ نَفْسِهِ؟

22 And ye shall be My people, and I will be your God.

٢٢ وَتَكُونُونَ لِي شَعْباً وَأَكُونُ لَكُمْ إِلَهاً».

23 Behold, a storm of the LORD is gone forth in fury, a sweeping storm; it shall whirl upon the head of the wicked.

٢٣ انْظُرُوا، هَا عَاصِفَةُ غَضَبِ الَّربِّ قَدْ تَفَجَّرَتْ، زَوْبَعَةٌ هَائِجَةٌ تَثُورُ فَوْقَ رُؤُوسِ الأَشْرَارِ.

24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until He have executed, and till He have performed the purposes of His heart; in the end of days ye shall consider it.

٢٤ لَنْ يَرْتَدَّ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ الْمُحْتَدِمُ حَتَّى يُنْجِزَ وَيُنَفِّذَ مَقَاصِدَ فِكْرِهِ. وَهَذَا مَا سَتَفْهَمُونَهُ فِي آخِرِ الأَيَّامِ.
